It's unreal. Guy says that if you don't hit a mantle in a case, he will include a '56 Mantle graded 3. And if you do hit a Mantle of some sort, to return the '56 to him. First off a graded 3 Mantle isn't high according to the wonderful beckett magazine for prices. But in the same breath, if you don't hit a Mantle, you keep it along with whatever else the case yields. For $2k+ I would hope that if a seller is advertising a free '56 Mantle, he/she might as well just include it anyways.
